It is intended for scientists, engineers, and technical managers from academia, industry, government, and military programs. This will be an unclassified conference consisting of featured speakers, a technical program, and poster sessions. On Friday, September 17, attendance will be limited to personnel from U.S. Government agencies and their contractors. September 20-23, 2004 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing CLUSTER2004 San Diego, CA grail.sdsc.edu/cluster2004/ Commodity clusters provide today a convenient and cost-effective platforms for executing complex computation-, data-, and/or transaction-oriented applications. To achieve higher performance, scalability, and usability, research and development challenges remain in virtually all areas of cluster computing, including middleware, networking, algorithms and applications, resource management, platform deployment and maintenance, and integration with grid computing. Cluster 2004, to be held in beautiful San Diego, provides an open forum for researchers, practitioners, and users to present and discuss issues, directions, and results that will shape the future of cluster computing. September 27-October 1, 2004 Linux Cluster Institute - LCI Center for HPC@UNM Albuquerque, New Mexico www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/ The Linux Clusters Institute is a partnership founded by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of New Mexico, and the Advanced Computing Technology Center at the IBM Watson Research Center. Linux Clusters Institute workshops are intensive, hands-on sessions for computational scientists, engineers, and cluster system administrators. Those interested are advised to register early for workshops due to the limited number of available seats. Participants are encouraged to bring their own applications/problems with them for the workshop. OCTOBER ^^^^^^^ October 10-15, 2004 IEEE Visualization 2004 (VIS2004) Austin, Texas http://vis.computer.org/vis2004/index.html Vis 2004 is the premier forum for visualization advances in science and engineering for academia, government, and industry. This event brings together researchers and practitioners with a shared interest in techniques, tools, and technology. Join us at the Hyatt Regency Austin in Austin, Texas, October 10-15, 2004. **October 25-28, 2004 Bridging Knowledge Gaps in Computational Biology SAS Institute Campus, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina http://www.sun-registration.com/CB/genform.ihtml?theform=Home The greatest scientific challenges often occur at disciplinary intersections and present opportunities to develop novel connections and establish new relationships among varying fields of knowledge. Computational biology is the field representing the multi-dimensional interface between the mathematical and biological sciences. As disciplines mature, they seek new ideas at the interface of the established disciplines, new ways to fill the gaps ... the search for bridges. This conference will try to address several of these bridges: Technical: What are the data technologies most effective for handling distributed data? Scientific: How can ontologies and pathway representations facilitate research? Business: How to make practical use of this research? Unsubscribe-Ref: hpcom2840
